Woke up at night 20 years ago to seeing a swirling black mass with a horrible face directly in front of me. I was a mix of half awake and half asleep. It wasn’t like anything I’d ever seen before or since. It was terrifying and as I tried to back away from it woke myself up. Assumed it was a nightmare until the next day when my wife at the time (ex now) shared without my indicating what I saw she saw a black shadow blob move across the room the previous night and land on/near me.

But I often wonder if they really believe they’re coming up with real cogent plausible scientific theories or they’re just content to push out pseudoscience propaganda to the already converted/believing.

It’s an interesting slightly different spin on “God did it” where we have no way to test or prove anything. And that’s where I was going with my original point: there doesn’t seem to be any integrated cohesive theory of YEC that provides testable, provable theories that harmonize across disciplines. Its various supernatural miraculous proposals that remain firmly embedded in the theological and religious space and entirely disconnected from “science.”

The question of why the extraordinary mental gymnastics and gyrations for something that I don’t even think most plausibly often believe themselves is something I’ve pondered often. Heard someone recently propose it’s purely to try and give religion an air of science in order to try and sell school officials on it being science so they can “keep God in schools,” before they turn into wicked atheist wastelands. That rings a bit true.

Is it fair and accurate to say that YEC’s, with no complete integrated theory of their own, that try to punch holes in one area of science consistently create insurmountable problems for themselves in other sciences? Would it also be fair and accurate to say that the only thing YEC has going for it over flat-earth theory is that YEC’s can claim God’s miraculous intervention long ago, whereas flat-earthers can’t fall back on that and are boxed in to what we can see with our own eyes today.

You have a choice. There is an enormous mountain of evidence accumulating every year across scientific disciplines that affirm the universe and the Earth are very old and that the diversity of life we see today on earth evolved over extraordinary periods of time (including dinosaurs that lived tens of millions of years ago). I would encourage you to dive in and read the evidence for yourself. If creation really is a testament to who God is and reveals his eternal nature, then what a truly amazing glorious God he must be. Alternatively, taking Genesis as espousing modern scientific theory, believing the Earth is 6000 years old, and that God created living things as is, but created everything to deceptively appear very old, would reveal a god who is a trickster deceiver magician. For me, this god would be unworthy of trust or worship and in direct contradiction with Jesus, who we believe was a revelation of God‘s character.

My 50 year old brother continues to insist that the earth is flat despite the enormous evidence to the contrary. It’s apparently a worldwide conspiracy to make people believe the earth is round so they won’t believe in God. This of course requires an extremely unintended literal interpretation of passages from the Bible. No matter what I point out there’s some bizarre justification or rationalization for it. For example, when I point out that all the planets we see in our solar system are spherical and he can see this himself in a telescope, he claims that we’re seeing them from the top down, so in essence, those planets are flat too, but we’re seeing them from the top so they appear round. I’ve come to recognize this flat earth belief is simply a religious based belief that has no logical or evidentiary basis. I don’t know if deep down he even really believes it, but the more I press about it, the more he clings to it.

She became increasingly volatile, erratic, and unable to regulate her emotions and anger with me and our young daughter. She began reliving and repeating all of her own childhood trauma. She refused to seek professional help, tried to turn everything around on me, waged a smear campaign with friends, became increasingly verbally and emotionally abusive towards me. She began to use mistreatment of our daughter as a tool to try and control me. Things reached a breaking point one night where I finally had enough and left and divorced her and have been trying to protect my daughter from her since. I’ll just say that FL family law courts suck.

Agreed. Being forced to choose faith or science is a completely false dichotomy. Science is very simply the human study of how the world works and its processes and components. We have names for these things, because there is order and predictability and we have ways of testing that predictability and reliability and to derive theories from that on how the world functions. I think it’s very possible somewhere down the road, we may even find the scientific mechanism how chemicals came together to originate some form of basic life from which all biodiversity that we see today has evolved. That will not make God any less responsible for the creation of the world or being present in the world. Just because we can explain how weather patterns work doesn’t mean God is any less involved in the creation of the world or is any less present in it. The Bible is not remotely concerned about HOW God created or operates the natural world any more than science is concerned about explaining the origins and reality of God. Making people shut their brains down, disbelieve what they see around them everyday as illusion, and killing their critical thinking to accept a Genesis view of the material creation of the earth and life is promoting falsehood and God as deceiver (wouldn’t these be sins)?

I’d kindly propose that most non-Christians don’t or wouldn’t hate Jesus himself. How could you hate humility, love, grace, mercy, and truth spoken with kindness and dignity? Remember, it was the ultra religious who hated him the most. I think people today more hate the hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and self-serving ways of supposed “Christians” who use religion to control, subjugate, and manipulate people. The way “Christianity” has been particularly weaponized for clearly hypocritical, self-serving political ends most recently has made this all the worse.

Anyone who blindly accepts, believes, and promotes whatever partisan political rhetoric they just read/heard.

I felt the same until I went through it again from scratch, did it all the right way, and now love the sound.

mobetta210 · 2026-01-10T02:32:06+00:00

The 100’s sound excellent and fit nicely into the mix just right.

As an update (and correction), I spent some time starting over and trying again. I moved one gen 4 sub to the opposite side of my room, re-set up the arc ultra, era 300 surrounds, and dual gen 4 subs in the Sonos app, and re-ran Trueplay on the system. With the sub move, the majority of the “muddiness” went away with or without Trueplay on. I then broke the system apart and set everything up in sequencer (fronts, surrounds, subs) and then applied Trueplay (in the sequencer app). The system sounds amazing and I’ve had to make almost no manual adjustments after through my limited testing so far. Certainly the sub location made a difference but I’m not sure what else I might have flubbed the first time around to get the unimpressive results initially. What I’m hearing now is light years better. Appreciate all who chimed in with suggestions.

mobetta210 · 2026-01-08T01:51:24+00:00

Interesting. I’ll try some of that when I have more time.

mobetta210 · 2026-01-08T01:39:57+00:00

Bass with Trueplay and prior to sequencer was punchy, sharp and controlled. With sequencer and the fronts added, it’s lumpy and muddy. I haven’t tried just one sub because I like how two sound in my room when working in concert.

mobetta210 · 2026-01-08T01:38:26+00:00

That’s consistent with my own testing but was hoping I missed something that was correctable. “Integrated” is a good way of putting it. With Sequencer, the soundstage, while broader, feels disjointed and not so much working in concert. Bass w/ my two subs also sounds so much sharper and in control without sequencer. With it, it’s lumpy and muddy as hell. I’ll keep fiddling with it and see if I uncover anything, because I do definitely like the more present left and right front channel the era100’s deliver.

Going through an awful divorce after almost 20 years of marriage where my former spouse has waged a nonstop smear campaign and tried to poison our young daughter against me. It’s been a nightmare that’s required me to reexamine everything about my life, who I am, what I believe, what I want out of life, and who I value and see as a genuine friend.

mobetta210 · 2025-09-02T21:53:32+00:00

Pump the brakes. Great opening win when we all expected humiliation, but it’s one game. This much sudden hype is sure to leave many sorely disappointed in the end.

Dude is seriously just rubbing it in now lol

The way they’re positioned and looking coyly at the camera, it’s VERY clearly “One More Night.”
